There are two seasons in every sport. First, each team participates in the regular season. The regular season is often long and drawn out, and teams gain and lose momentum faster than a Welcome Week relationship falls apart. But, unlike most ACU matches, it's not the squad fastest out of the gate that wins the championship. The best teams aren't ... [Read More…]
Think of the children, people
Ever heard of the expression "The Internet is forever"? Chances are you have, and it's never been truer. The most typical fashion in which our generation hears that phrase usually comes with discussions of future job employers and life after college. Though that's true, it's not the only aspect to take into consideration. Let's say the ... [Read More…]
TBH, TBTs are the result of our knack for nostalgia
Despite all the forward-thinking techy trends that are constantly abuzz, we seem to retain an obsession with nostalgic snap shots of the past. We make #ThrowBackThursday posts on social media so we can display old pictures of ourselves as children being dysfunctional and wearing too much denim. And when we don't have old pictures, we just apply ... [Read More…]
Playoffs!? Don’t talk about playoffs!
Today I'm going against Jim Mora's wishes and talking about playoffs. You know, that little mini-tournament teams play in at the end of the year which claims to crown a league champion, but really only determines which team plays the best in cold weather? Yes, playoffs. Oh, you still don't know what I'm talking about? You've never heard of ... [Read More…]
Keep Abilene Boring
When I first visited ACU's campus, I made my parents stop by Monk's Coffee Shop so I could purchase a "Keep Abilene Boring" T-shirt. But at that time, I had no clue about the depths of Abilene's boringness, or why in the world anyone would want to keep it that way. Then, this summer, I had an internship in Austin, which is New York City ... [Read More…]
Flag football season heats up down the stretch
We've hit the homestretch of the flag football season and there's little sign of any team slowing down. Of course, a few teams never really got started, so slowing down isn't an option for them in the first place. I'm looking at you, Thunder Ducks and Boyz in Motion. Only a week remains in the regular season and many teams are fighting for ... [Read More…]
A glossary to understand seniors
Though it's still the first semester of my senior year, large chunks of my time are being spent discussing and Googling and worrying about my impending graduation. It's annoying. I'm convinced I'm using the same words over and over again. So I've compiled a glossary - buzzwords almost every senior is using - so you can understand the annoying ... [Read More…]
California vs. Texas
One afternoon this summer, a woman at my church here in Abilene invited the congregation to her ranch for a barbecue after service. I had never been to a cattle ranch before, so I eagerly accepted and headed out to the middle of nowhere for an evening of games and food with my friends. Her husband made some of the best burgers I have ever eaten ... [Read More…]
My life is not a romantic comedy
"Now that was when people knew how to be in love. They knew it! Time, distance... nothing could separate them because they knew. It was right. It was real. It was..." "A movie! That's your problem! You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie." - Meg Ryan and Rosie O'Donnell in Sleepless in Seattle. First off, ... [Read More…]
New spin on Intramurals
This weekend, I played in the intramural Ultimate Frisbee tournament. Well actually, I just ran around and congested the middle of the field with defenders who didn't know I wasn't actually going to touch the Frisbee. I was asked to play only because, being a co-ed tournament, there was a requirement of at least two female players per team on ... [Read More…]
